× Exactly, I like to bite you.
✓ Exactly, I like to buy shoes.
The student likely intended to say 'buy' instead of 'bite'. 'Bite' is incorrect in this context as it does not relate to purchasing shoes. The verb 'buy' is the correct verb to express purchasing items.
× I bought the shoe like not every week, like every month, but not that often, sometimes like 2 or maybe 3 months.
✓ I buy shoes not every week, more like every month, but not that often, sometimes every 2 or maybe 3 months.
The student used 'the shoe' which is singular, but the context implies multiple shoes over time. 'Shoes' should be plural to match the meaning. Also, 'bought' is past tense but the question asks about frequency, so present tense 'buy' is more appropriate.
× The style that I like is just like a flip flop with colorful like polka dot pink.
✓ The style that I like is just like flip flops with colorful pink polka dots.
The phrase 'with colorful like polka dot pink' is awkward and incorrect. 'Like' is unnecessary here. The correct preposition is 'with' followed by the description 'colorful pink polka dots'. Also, 'flip flop' should be plural 'flip flops' to refer to the style generally.
× I did like four or five times online.
✓ I have bought shoes online like four or five times.
The phrase 'I did like four or five times online' is incomplete and incorrect. The verb 'did' needs a main verb. Using present perfect 'have bought' is appropriate to indicate experience up to now.
× It's very has offered me a good price and I also get a discount on top.
✓ It has offered me a very good price and I also get a discount on top.
The original sentence incorrectly combines 'It's very has offered'. The correct structure is 'It has offered me a very good price'. The adverb 'very' should modify 'good price', not 'has offered'.
× The size is quite too accurate with my feet and I never disappointed to.
✓ The size is quite accurate for my feet and I have never been disappointed.
'Quite too accurate' is contradictory; 'quite accurate' suffices. Also, 'disappointed to' is incorrect; the correct form is 'been disappointed'. The preposition 'with' should be 'for' when referring to size fitting feet.
× I think around 10 or maybe not $20 per times that I bought it and I quite controlled about my budget to spend on the items because there are still so many things that I need to use my money for such as food or any life.
✓ I think around $10 or maybe not more than $20 each time I buy shoes and I am quite controlled about my budget to spend on items because there are still many things I need to use my money for, such as food or daily life.
'Per times' is incorrect; it should be 'each time'. Also, 'any life' is unclear; 'daily life' or 'living expenses' is more appropriate. The sentence structure is improved for clarity.
× I prefer comfortable shoes because I can wear it everyday, especially about football because my country is very hot, we always living like some other times around 40°.
✓ I prefer comfortable shoes because I can wear them every day, especially for football, because my country is very hot; we are often living in temperatures around 40°C.
'Wear it' should be 'wear them' to agree with plural 'shoes'. 'Everyday' as an adjective is incorrect here; 'every day' as an adverb is correct. 'We always living' is incorrect; 'we are often living' or 'we often experience' is better. 'Like some other times' is unclear and replaced with 'temperatures around 40°C'.
× So I feel really good when my shoe is not that humid.
✓ So I feel really good when my shoes are not that humid.
'Shoe' should be plural 'shoes' to match the context. Also, 'humid' is usually used to describe air, not shoes. A better adjective might be 'hot' or 'sweaty', but keeping 'humid' is acceptable if referring to moisture inside the shoe.
